Aubrey Claudius Galloway's answerIt depends on the jurisdiction, but pleading guilty could affect immigration status and any judge will tell this to a defendant prior to a plea.

Brian K. McHugh's answerThe short answer is yes. Legally the DA's ability to file a criminal case against a witness to a crime is not effected by the outcome of the case in which the person was a witness. However, there may be evidentiary or proof problems that make charging the witness difficult or impossible.

P. Justin Thrailkill's answerFirst, you need to pull your criminal background so that you know what is out there. Start in Georgia, if you are here, then go to California and pull that one. If there is anything on it, you need to speak with an attorney in the state showing something in your background about whether expungement of your arrest is an option. This depends on the disposition of the case as well as the respective state's law. Good luck to you.

If you had been visiting the treater every 6 months or every 9 months, you could walk in without reaching the adjuster again.

Andrew Bennett's answerThe requirement is based on where your domiciled, not moved. If you are merely going to college in IN but still a resident in AZ and pay AZ income tax then your AZ license is sufficient. However, if you no longer have ties to AZ and would be required to file taxes in IN then you must change your license within the required time frame.

Andrew Bennett's answerThat is a complicated area of law, the person needs to consult with an immigration attorney. An OWI is considered a crime of moral turpitude and could have deportation consequences.

Arthur Calderon's answerYes. The County Board of Supervisors may follow the statute to mandate that the property be cleaned at the owner's expense, and if the property is not cleaned, then the County can go in and clean the property and bill the owner.
